I was being sarcastic when I said that svchost.exe is itself becoming a virus
as it's behavior is worse than any virus that i've ever seen.

I did another (Long) MS tech support call, the $245 version that figured out
that an errant licensing manager was crashing svchost.exe.

I did not have an actual virus.

I had resident and did spwecial scans with the following programs:

Norton AV
Ad-Aware 2007
Sprware blaster
Spybot search & Destroy
Microsoft's One care

All came up clean; no viruses. The One care did speed things up a fair
amount.

My system is operational. there are some software that Ican't install
properly.

I'm gonna bite the bullet and do a bare metal rebuild, this time Vista x64.


Alright then, good luck :)

Sincerely (not sarcastically), you may wish to review/research the efficiency of some of your AV and A-S application(s) :)
